I respect the fact that you won't be accepting donations.

You could definitely live on as a personality though. If you don't see how to, you're blind.

Edit: i mean even if you're going to school, it'll be a much better part time job than anything else you can find and burning through your savings doesn't seem wise.

Hey ill take those couple thousand for working as a caster 9 to 9, 6 days a week, for two monts worth of work, and im not even joking.

Anyways, you are prolly used to such big things you dont see the whole picture, but gl in school, its always a good thing going back to school at any point in your life. Hope you get into game desing, woudlnt that be awesome ? xD.


I guess someone could say you're probably used to such small things, that a couple thousand for working 9 to 9, 6 days a week seems incredible when in reality it is not something to strive for. 9-9 6 days a week can be done for a time, but that's not a career I would want to be leading either.. Also a couple thousand a month could be $2,000, I make a lot more than $500 a week working 9-4.. with minimal post secondary education.

So if ones willing to sacrifice long term gains for fun and games, or if your circumstances are so that you can make more than you do now doing what Greg was, then it works for you and grats. Considering the amount of talent required for this 9-9 6 day a week job for a couple thousand, I don't know man, you would do this, but could you?

Have a good one.


I'm a doctor with 7 years of studying and a specialist contract, and I work 8-6 at the very least plus 1 24 hr shift a week

I make a bit more than 2k a month

So yeah casting looks appealing

I hope he'll be given the possibility to cast once in a while, because I think it'd just be a huge loss if he disappeared completely.
But Stephano showed one thing: Just turn away from the game completely seems really hard, or almost impossible, even if you don't really like it. It was a huge part of their life, and even if it is just for some events once in a while, I think it'd be great to see him again.

Everything else has already been said, you were one of THE foreigners for many many years and there's nothing more to say but "good luck for the future".

I remember staying up late to watch PL years ago to see if CJ would send idra out to play. His comments after a match were memorable and hilarious. I never thought of it as BM, like some people did in the community, I just saw him as a passionate player that got caught in the moment. Good luck in those labs in the future.
There's no S in KT. :P

Theres a difference between "live on" and "earn enough to enjoy life"

You are a clever guy, you will do brilliant in school!

I think you are the best caster out there as of now. I hope you still can cast tournaments now and then as a part time job!

I'll be going back to school. I have no plans to stream dota, or any other game right now, as I get very few viewers for it and I feel dumb inviting people to watch me be bad at something.


No offence, but people don't like your streaming, casting, and analysis in general because you're a great player. We like you as a person (at least your online version). It would be extremely interesting to follow you as you learn to play dota!

I'm not sure, but a can of coke here costs something like $2, a bit less right now.

Plus it still looks appealing, I'd be bringing those 2k from casting here, so I would earn pretty much the same
